Urgency
Low
Quick answer
When the status LED on a TP-Link Tapo smart plug (such as Tapo P100, P105, P110, or P115) is blinking orange and green, the plug is in setup mode and waiting to be paired in the Tapo app via 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
Safety first
Safe checks you can perform
- Confirm blinking orange and green in the Tapo app
- Check default Wi-Fi broadcast versus Bluetooth setup
- Perform a 5-second soft reset or 10-second factory reset
Leave these tasks to a qualified professional
- Do not attempt this professional task: Verify provisioning mode and 2.4 GHz wireless readiness
- Do not attempt this professional task: Test physical button soft reset and factory reset behavior
What a technician must be able to justify
Technician visit
These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.
These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.
Verify provisioning mode and 2.4 GHz wireless readiness
What they doThe technician checks the Tapo plug model and hardware version, confirms whether it pairs via Tapo_Plug_XXXX Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, and verifies 2.4 GHz signal near the outlet.
They must show youthe model label, the discovery method used in the Tapo app, and the completed pairing screen.
In writingexact Tapo model, provisioning mode (Wi-Fi or Bluetooth), and installed firmware version.
Test physical button soft reset and factory reset behavior
What they doThe professional tests both the 5-second soft reset and the 10-second factory reset on a known-good wall outlet to verify that the status LED transitions cleanly.
They must show youthe LED response after holding the power button for 5 seconds and 10 seconds.
In writingoutlet tested, LED state after each reset duration, and final onboarding result.
Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Follow these steps
Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.
Confirm blinking orange and green in the Tapo app
- Who:
- you, keeping your phone or tablet close to the Tapo smart plug.
- How:
- open the Tapo app signed in with your TP-Link ID, tap the Plus icon, select Add Device > Tapo > Plugs, choose your model, and tap Already Orange And Green.
- Result that matters:
- start local discovery while the smart plug is in configuration mode.
- If the app finds the plug and prompts for your 2.4 GHz home network:
- enter the Wi-Fi password and complete setup.
- If the phone cannot find the default Tapo_Plug_XXXX Wi-Fi:
- check whether your model uses Bluetooth setup next.
- Evidence to keep:
- selected plug model in the Tapo app and screen shown after tapping Already Orange And Green.

Check default Wi-Fi broadcast versus Bluetooth setup
- Who:
- you, inspecting the phone's Wi-Fi list during Step 3 of the setup guide.
- How:
- check whether the plug broadcasts a default SSID such as Tapo_Plug_XXXX; if not, follow the Tapo app prompt to configure the plug via Bluetooth.
- Result that matters:
- match the provisioning method required by your specific Tapo hardware version.
- If pairing succeeds over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth:
- name the plug, set its location, and enable Auto Update for firmware.
- If the LED stops blinking orange and green before pairing finishes:
- perform a 5-second or 10-second button reset.
- Evidence to keep:
- presence or absence of Tapo_Plug_XXXX and the setup method used in the app.
Evidence: How to Set Up the Tapo Smart Plug
Perform a 5-second soft reset or 10-second factory reset
- Who:
- you, pressing the physical power button while the plug is powered on.
- How:
- press and hold the power button for 5 seconds to keep existing settings and re-enter setup mode, or hold for 10 seconds to restore factory defaults.
- Result that matters:
- return an unresponsive or previously paired Tapo plug to blinking orange and green.
- If the LED blinks orange and green again and setup completes:
- check for the latest firmware in the Tapo app.
- If the LED remains abnormal after a 10-second factory reset:
- arrange technical support review with model details.
- Evidence to keep:
- button hold duration used (5 s or 10 s) and resulting LED pattern.

What it means
According to TP-Link's official setup and reset guides for Tapo smart plugs (FAQ 2846, FAQ 2612, and FAQ 3417, covering Tapo P100, P105, P110, and P115), an alternating orange and green LED means the device is ready for configuration in the Tapo app. If you see this pattern after changing routers or holding the power button, the plug is waiting to join a 2.4 GHz wireless network. This indicator pattern by itself never proves that an internal part of the smart plug has failed.
Symptoms and causes
Probable causes · in order
- Initial setup mode or pending network pairingCommon
When first plugged into an outlet or after holding the power button for 5 seconds, the LED blinks orange and green so the Tapo app can provision Wi-Fi credentials.
